<p>Hi everyone! I just wanted to start the thread. Hope everyone comes here so we can share our stats and anxieties!</p>
<p>Is NO ONE planning on transferring to Emory?!</p>
<p>I’m applying to Emory for fall transfer! I go to a large state school. Are you a Georgia resident?</p>
<p>Yes I am! Are you?</p>
<p>I’m applying too. Ga state student currently. 4.12 gpa
But bad hgh school test scores. Why does that even matter?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t think it matters that much.</p>
<p>Shall we post out stats? The deadline for the application is coming up soon!</p>

<p>@esai23 I don’t think it matters you visited … I visited when I was in 9th grade but I didn’t mention it because I thought they were asking for like an Emory Scheduled School visit …</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Emory considers implied interest to be very important. So things like campus visits and whatnot are important and worth mentioning in your application.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>Are the freshman transfer students competing against other freshman transfer students, or every transfer that applies?</p>
<p>@Sat100 I called Emory and told them I had a few visits when I was a Freshmen at Georgia but they said it wouldn’t really matter because It wasn’t a “School Scheduled Visit” … But i did mention it in my supplement essay how I was infatuated with the school and its location … lol Hopefully I will still get in …</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to my question?:</p>
<p>“Are the freshman transfer students competing against other freshman transfer students, or every transfer that applies?”</p>
<p>Also can someone chance me please? My stats are on the previous page. </p>
<p>My two “negative” factors are probably: </p>
<p>1) Not visiting the campus
2) Having a 30 on the ACT - which when I told to the “admissions representative” over the phone, said was good.</p>
<p>You can still get in without visiting the school, especially if you live somewhat far away from Atlanta. </p>
<p>As for the freshman v. freshman question, I can’t be certain, but I would assume that freshmen applicants would be competing against other freshmen. Usually, schools are looking to fill up a class of a certain year, so I am guessing that freshmen compete against other freshmen.</p>
<p>And 30 act is probably above average for an Emory transfer. Transferring to Emory is easier than applying as a first-year.</p>
<p>Thanks SAT100. I can only hope I get in. By the way, do you know when we’ll be notified with the decision if we applied “early” (By March 15th)? </p>
<p>I read on the website that we will be notified by April 26th and the person over the phone said April 1st week.</p>
<p>^Are you sure? That is awfully early for decisions, considering the fact that we just turned the application in. Btw, has everyone already turned in their midterm report? I still have to turn mine in; most of my teachers don’t even do all the grading until the end of the semester. Hopefully I can get the midterm report filled and mailed in time.</p>
